# Introduction

> Turn hiring signals into pipeline. Find companies with live pain points before your competitors do.

# Hiring signals beat static databases

Sales teams waste time on databases that tell you a company *exists*, not that they're *in-market*. Knowing a company has 200 employees and is in the SaaS industry tells you nothing about timing.

But when that same company posts a job for "Head of Revenue Operations," they've already:

* **Secured budget** for the role and the tools that come with it
* **Aligned leadership** on the strategic direction
* **Committed to act**. This isn't a plan, it's a hire.

Job postings are the earliest public signal that a company has a live pain point. Sentrion monitors **230+ job boards** and millions of career pages to surface these signals so you can reach companies while the need is real.
